Damn show pony! No place on a working mans working dog site, shame on you! But is she a merle?I personally wouldn't give a monkeys if she was pink with green spots aslong has she carries on doing what she does When you mentioned it i had a good look and you can see touches of red, but no funny eye and not much color, maybe she carries the red merle gene and expresses it a bit but not much, would be interesting to see if she passed any of the gene on. Interestingly, if you had two like her and didnt realise the merle gene in either and mated them could you produce a whole loa

I don't think anyone here thinks that looks are the most important thing otherwise we would be on a different site. I am a fan of the colour and find it interesting but that was not the first thing I thought of when chosing my puppy or having a litter. I hope there is a way to breed a good looking dog that is functional otherwise there will be a seperation in Lurchers that has happened in other breeds "looks" and "workability". Looking at the pictures on here I am happy to see it is possible to have both. I dont want an argument but read what you just wrote again. . . . "I hope t

Surely if he was a recent immigrant / illegal then he would not have had a shotgun licence and so it would have been a fire arms offence, which isnt mentioned? It doesnt quite ring true? Or is that just me.

I was thinking the same here. All this Looks is for showing, yes it's nice to have a Looker, and I will comment on a nice type of dog. But it's not at all important to me. Looks wont fill the pot, a looker may get you a few rosettes and a day out at the game fair. There are people who show and people who work their dogs. Is there both? Valid question . Thing is ,Merle colouration is usually linked to having collie in the make -up of the lurcher . Collie crosses are not that successfull as show dogs _a bit too mongrelly possibly when compared withan elegant deerhound cross or

Reading this thread you realise some folk just like merle dogs, or like their merle dog anyhow, for others look really is the MOST important thing. Not knocking a pretty dog, but being happy with the pretty dog you end up with is one thing and breeding to get a 'pretty dog' or litter of 'pretty dogs'. . . . .

I do, but f**k knows how to figure out the dosage? Bit of a size difference.

I think i have some mange coming in my ferrets which is strange considering they live in a court outside and its very cold, but i think its come via pheasant that they have been fed very fresh. Anyway, i've had it before and got some drops from the vet containing ivermectin, thing is for all six ferrets it cost 120 quid +, of which most was what the vets put on the drugs as profit. Any one have any idea where i can get the drops for ferrets/small animals online?

If your buying an adult ferret this time of year then look out for all kinds of problems (hence why its being sold), your best bet is to look out for one of this years kits thats left over, and has been well handled and doesnt bite or skulk about. Buying an adult ferret you can get lucky, you just have to look about. Housing wise, you can go from a rabbit hutch type cage (big one) up to a court/shed, you want a sleeping/nest box, and a run with plenty of light etc and lots of room to run about/play, with tubes and toys. Best bet is to build your own, just make it secure and use decent mesh not

we dont get the daylight hours in this country to grow weed.unless of course you kitted it out with a load of 600watt lights Very much untrue matey, you just got to know you 'shit' so to speak -
I was brought up hearing the same matey. Real gravy is the way forward! Vegetable water, meat juices, flour, gravy browning mmmmmmm. yip especiually when over real meat, an none a that biscuit shit Aye mate, tonight its beef and all the trimmings, with gravy on top.

Like Kay said, even without gravy, some boiling water over the dry biscuits and stirred about will create a kind of gravy. You could also try boiling up a bunch of meat and using the juices.

I got banned for a week for trying to 'swop a dog'. What i said was - pup that we rescued free to a good home and it would be nice to go for a night/day out with the prospective owner to see what they were like. . . . .

They don't always bolt mate. Have you read this thread? http://www.thehuntinglife.com/forums/topic/180313-a-sad-day-ferreting/ Sometimes not digging isn't an option, the above won't be the first time a ferret has got caught on the wrong side of rabbits in a stop end. Imagine this scenario, a jill has got a ferret bottled up in a stop end, she works away at it and eventually manages to get over it and ends up in the stop end. Another rabbit or rabbits appear and press up against the first one jamming it into the ferret who ends up well and truely stuck. You have two options, 1- wait

So it seems some people dig A LOT of holes when they go out. Realistically how much digging do you do over a season? We've had ONE so far. . . . and maybe 2 more times when we have had a kill but it wasn't somewhere that could be dug to. We are not super quiet, my partner smokes and the rabbits have often been chased by dogs, and the holes are marked by the dogs having a good sniff. Yes the rabbits are sometimes VERY hard to bolt, but bolt they do eventually, even if it is eyeless. So what gives with all the digging? Not knocking it just wondered how come everyone else seems to be doing it sev

There is something not right about this. Girl ferrets? Rip them to pieces? You feed them dog food?

Week or so ago one bolted, skipped the net somehow, ran over the dog tried to jump the ditch i was standing in and i caught it around the middle as it flew past Yesterday one came out of an unknown bolt hole, ran across the warren, looked at me and tried to leg it back to a hole and i managed to leap on it before it made ground. . .

If the dog is without a person and out of control (i.e - you have TRIED to call it off yourself etc) and killing livestock (not wild game) and you shoot it then fair enough. Any other situation, i.e - there is a person there, its harming game not stock and you dont bother trying to call it off. . . . . . . then your a sick c**t and deserve a lonely life. We have recently here lost 6 sheep and had the rest of the flock run ragged, at night and we know who the dogs belong to etc and have been advised that unless we see it actually pulling down a sheep we cant shoot, even if we find it eating a f
